Should I keep the Turntable or sell it?

@best-groove

...it’s okay to get them but not inside a turntable for problems that could trigger.

Wait, I am not following then. If you are saying having a DAC, Bluetooth, Phono Stage (it doesn’t have USB, btw) all in a system, then what is the difference if they are insulated inside of the TT VS sitting beside the TT? Assuming they are good quality (CA has made great products for 50 years), why would it matter if they are inside the unit? Are you talking about RFI, because unless I put them in another room, there will still be interference, and I trust a Cambridge Audio engineer to build and place these components within a system, than I would ME placing them in various parts of a room. Maybe I just don’t understand your POV, though.

(Rant about audiophilia coming)
One thing that I find fascinating, is that audiophiles hate the idea of multiple components inside a singularly engineer product, and think they can always "al a carte" their own systems better then a company doing this stuff for 50 years. KEF LS50 Wireless speakers are another example... many audiophiles that I have conversed with hate the idea of not being able to match their DAC and amp with their passive speakers, and I understand personal preference, but if a technology that is so great and award winning (KEF LS50) why not trust the same engineers to pair the right DAC and amp? I feel like ego tends to get in the way of things sometimes, and non-experts believe they know better than the folks they pay huge sums of money to for the individual components.
(Thanks for the therapy)

So my personal hypothesis is... A company who has been in the business for decades and who partners with other companies who deliver great components, is very likely to be capable of engineering and compiling a turntable, arm, and cart (package) that is specifically engineered to sound great together. Isn’t this exactly what Apple did and continues to do very successfully with the iPhone? It is an all in one solution, built to be completely integrated and services it’s own ecosystem of applications. Luckily and hopefully, I will have years to test this hypothesis and see if I can prove it null.

I appreciate the information everyone!

Sorry I explained myself wrongly; what I wanted to say is that bluetooth or usb or power supply switching do not have to coexist in a TT but not even attached or close to a stereo system that wants to be low, mid or hi-end; these features may be fine for multiroom systems or where it doesn’t matter to listen to music in the best way. IHMO

@best-groove I think I’m following... maybe. No, those components don’t need to be located in a system at all. It seems what Cambridge Audio is predicating is that the future of hi-fi analog is digital, or more than there is a larger market for those wanting all-in-one systems that are mid-range in quality from a hi-fi perspective.

if I had the money, sure I’d just buy all separate components and place them far away from the table as possible. I would also probably buy different components though for analog and digital and have two separate systems. Not in my budget though, unfortunately.

Gat a ClearAudio Concept.  Cannot beat it at that price:

https://www.amazon.com/Clearaudio-Concept-Turntable-Pre-Mounted-Cartridge/dp/B005ORBFI0

Or the Audio Technica LP7 at about $800.  

Both will beat the Rega hands down at that price point.

Or even a second hand Linn Sondek from ebay.....

Sell it and get the Rega. Put an Ortofon 2M Black in there and you will be in heaven. The business about direct drive being better is nonsense. The last thing you want under a sensitive cartridge is all that electromagnetic stuff. Direct drive is just another example of the Japanese making a relatively simple issue as complicated as possible. How many buttons on that remote do you actually use??
